Near miss (I hope)
Getting ready for bed last night (without the boot) I brifely lost my balance and put some weight on the wrong foot. It was brief and I certainly didn’t step down but I felt the pressure you would expect in the AT area. No pop or swelling and the discomfort (barely pain) subsided quickly. I am keeping my fingers crossed I didn’t do any damage. See the Doc on Monday so I’ll mention it to him. That was stupid on my part to be out of the boot in that situation. Fingers crossed it won’t be an issue. Everything feels status-quo today.
Update: 8/27 - Dr. said all is well. Removed the 2nd or three heel wedges in the boot and gave me a scrip for PT (gentle ROM/PRE/Moderately). He said I can get past neutral and that I could drive if I wanted. I am going hold off for now. Best news is the wound is closed and I can go swimming with my daughter for the first time (she just turned 1 yr old). I am excited about that!!!
